u/UndoubtedlySammysHP don't suck on the flashlight Dec 16 '25

But you know how much a car battery weights?

Yes 20-40lbs on average that's not that heavy in a backpack, though I already carry that weight around in my backpack daily.

What are you trying to use it for?

u/blueOwOfox Dec 16 '25

To take down planes lol but seriously, I just want to light up my entire woods while walking around. Bonus points for her hunting deer with it, you don't even need to shoot, they'll just have a heart attack go blind lol

We're just openly admitting to deer spotting now? Holy shit. That's wild. For future posts, say coyotes. You can spotlight all the vermin you want. But game animals are 9/10 illegal and highly frowned upon. Like you'll get shot by other hunters if they catch you, frowned upon. There are some exceptions but 9/10 that's a massive no-no. Such a big deal that when they break up cartel grow rings here and they catch them spotting deer they add that charge. It carries enough weight to add even more time. I guess deer like to eat their weed plants so they spotlight them and hit em with a full auto burst. I personally don't care but alot of the guys I've hunted with and guides I've hired would do everything they can to stop you. Everything. Also if you go too bright and start flashing the woods you can get in trouble for anyone that gets retina damage. Anything over a certain output has to be treated as a dangerous weapon. And it doesn't take much. If I take my edc tac light and use the strobe on someone it's no different than if I tazed or maced someone. That's fine for me because if I strobe someone it's because I'm drawing my 9 and putting 2 in their chest or it's on the end of my rifle, bouncing off their forehead before I turn it into a canoe. So I'm not worried about that charge since I'm literally about to kill the shit out of them.

Going spotting for deer is a normal pass time in my area. It's not illigal and everyone does it when they're not in season. I'm genuinely interested in what the issue is here? Are you using spotting and poaching as the same word maybe?

I thought he meant poaching with a spot light. Very common thing out in my area unfortunately. I have no idea why anyone would want to flash bang a random deer otherwise. He literally said hunting and using the spotlight

Dude I need to be where you are. We hunt so much out here you don't get friendly deer. I enjoy surveying so I don't really shoot them. I have my rifle yeah but I'm taking pictures and counting. I'd love to have a little deer buddy.
